Hey there, my name is Jessica (she/her). I grew up here in the Magic Valley until I moved to Boise for college. I attended Boise State University where I received my bachelor’s degree in Psychology and more recently my master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Northwest Nazarene University. When I’m not at the office I enjoy being outdoors grounding myself in nature, spending time with my cats, and being involved in martial arts. I love to travel as well, I’ve been to 10 countries outside of the United States and look forward to adding more.
I have a passion for people and helping others grow, I have been in the helping profession for 9 years. I approach clients and live my own life through the perspective of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. Following the thoughts of Carl Rogers, I strongly believe that a person can only change once they have learned to accept themselves as they are. Although I am grounded in ACT I also pull from person-centered to further connect on a human level and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy to teach clients valuable skills.
